Which Popular PS3 Franchise Do You NOT Want to see on the PlayStation 4?

Considering that this is the last year the PlayStation 3 will have before the PlayStation 4 bursts onto the scene, many franchises will be making the leap to the next generation. At the same time, however, there’s also many that won’t, so we decided to ask the PSLS staff: “Which Popular PS3 Franchise Do You NOT Want to see on the PlayStation 4?” - PSLS

i say let the dev do what they want and make what they love i don't want any Popular Franchise this gen to die next gen because if the dev know that they can bring new things to the table with those games in next gen then let them try

but i also want to see more new Ips next gen

EDIT:@doctorstrange well, you are right but dev like ND they moved from Uncharted Franchise to New IP (the last of us) in the same gen and they are doing what they wanted not what sony told them to do

Oh boy, am I going to get in trouble for saying this but here goes nothing.

First of all, it's not about not seeing it at all. I wouldn't want to deprive myself of a great game just because it had previous titles on PS3. It's more about getting a break, starting to miss a few games. So keeping that in mind here is my list:

I love Uncharted 3 but I wish there was more of a gap between the second and the third one. I was going crazy to play the second one but the third one, I could have waited for it.

I know this is the PS4 article but I'd want similar stuff on my 720.

HALO - Granted, I don't play HALO at all but I wish MS were to put more focus, energy and more importantly money elsewhere and on other original no-FPS titles. Alan Wake anyone?

Less Kinect games Gears of War Forza Fable

And third party games such as Assassins Creed, Res. Evil, COD.

Is it too much asking the devs to bring some fresh content to the table? This 'Rinse and Repeat' is not healthy for the industry.

I am glad Quantic Dreams decided not to go for Heavy Rain 2. Instead, they opted for something new and fresh and I tell ya, BEYOND: TWO SOULS is a day one purchase for me.

Similarly, Naughty Dogs are working on what I can only imagine as "my game of current-gen". Every single thing that I have seen about THE LAST OF US, it is just simply brilliant. I know this is way too early to call it but every time I see anything THE LAST OF US, it just gives me that "Oh-this-is-my-game-of-th is-generation!".

LMAO at the typical troll fanboy Zee ^ The guy who hates virtually everything for no other reason than the fact that it's popular. As if new hardware can't inspire new ideas from developers who may have wanted to try things but couldn't due to old hardware limitations. This is exactly why hipsters don't run companies... or anything else for that matter. Because they make bad decisions, and don't know anything, period.

Honestly I can't think of anything I wouldn't want on PS4. Just space the games out enough so we don't grow tired of them. I'd love to see Uncharted 4 on PS4 but not for a few years yet, same goes for the next God of war. Little big planet will have to make a jump to 3D I reckon, after LBP 2 and the Vita version I don't know what other tools they could add, those games are full of content

It would be nice if they did a new timeline though and call it "Resistance FALL OF MAN 2". Least then they can fix where they went wrong and give Nathan Hale some better character development.

"Take the controllers away from the CoD fanboys and encourage them to play something else…"

So true...

" I don’t want every game to be compared to Call of Duty or the entirety of the lay person’s knowledge of video games to be Call of Duty. Call of Duty is a plague on games and is holding the industry back from being able to fully blossom. End the corruption and allow for unique, interesting, and diverse content to make it’s way to the PS4. End the generation of the cookie cutter FPS. You cannot claim to be a gamer if your entire video game catalog is Call of Duty."

you crazy..? Resistance has a fun gun play and campaign's, it could be improved into a more complex game. I will like Insomniac to take notes from KZ3 jet-packs level and use their talent and experience in plataforming to create a new way on playing a fps and bring Resistance into a new level of experience.

I will like devs to transition from a old and new IP giving space to a better continuation of their IP's and not milk it like (kz3,uc3.. great games but just more of the same and even worse somehow, not fresh)

but keep the formula with the original IP and reinvent the formula on your new IP. (don't do what ZIPPER did bringing MAG and ruining SOCOM a game that did not need such a change)

I wouldn't mind a next gen Resistance title, but it would need to be very different, like a huge open world with many players in it or something like that. I only used that as an example because I'm currently addicted to Defiance, but you get my drift.

I really can't think of a PS franchise I'd rather not see. I don't buy them all, but others buy ones I don't and vice versa so let everyone have their fun.

as much as i love lost planet, i'm prepared to say lost planet 3 might be a disappointment just because the developer hasn't made a decent game since 04 :/, maybe it will surprise me, but i'm not getting hyped for it till i have it in my hand.

Final Fantasy. They need to take a time out and think about what they're doing before jumping head first into these projects. Better to reset yourself rather than announce something that you have in development for 8 freaking years before it can even be fully "revealed." =/

It's not about PS3 exclusive franchises, just franchises that ARE on the PS3. Look at the article itself; it talks about Call of Duty, Medal of Honor, and yes, even Final Fantasy right in the article. So ah...looks like it still qualifies for comment fodder too.

And...it wasn't popular? Versus XIII has been among the most anticipated games this entire gen. People still don't shut up about the FF7 remake and upcoming FFX remaster. FFXIII, while not having critical acclaim of others in the series, still had outrageous sales. So ah...not sure where you're getting the "not popular" thing either >_>

"Versus XIII has been among the most anticipated games this entire gen."

Anticipation isn't the same as popularity. To be popular generally means to have access to it. The only FF games on the PS3 have been the worst received FF games ever released. FFXIII had great sales because people expected it to be a great game. The first FF of a new gen was always the best possible FF game to come out for that gen but not this time. FFXIII-2 showed what people thought of FFXIII and that they wouldn't be suckered again.

"It's not about PS3 exclusive franchises, just franchises that ARE on the PS3. Look at the article itself; it talks about Call of Duty, Medal of Honor, and yes, even Final Fantasy right in the article. So ah...looks like it still qualifies for comment fodder too."

Don't hold back, man. Look at me, I never do. My comments are raw. I don't have 8 bubbles, but I can't think of many times when I've used more than 3 and I always have 4-6 of them to utilize. I backup the things that I say and most people respect me for them.

There's nothing wrong with saying a game needs a break; it doesn't mean that you're chasing games away from people that want them, just expressing an opinion on why it could use some sort of change of pace. I say God of War needs a rest with Ps4; they've bled that storyline dry and haven't done much to improve it.

What a dumb question.Why should Sony leave out popular franchises that grantees them profit to risk replacing them with new IPs? You don't even want to see how the franchise looks or plays before you start saying you don't want it? You can always depend on Playstationlifestyle for stupid questions, trollish statements,narrow mindedness and idiotic theories.

So was it dumb to cancel the TV series Seinfeld? Why not go out in style instead of degrading an IP? My vote goes to God of War. Great series but they should just stop making them. See, I'm not afraid to say it and don't really care how many disagrees I get.

What's funny is how many people post but won't mention any titles like they are afraid or something. Either that or they just can't let themselves admit some of the popular franchises should stop. Call of Duty is another series that should stop.

I never said not to make any new IPs at all but I am not sure why people are always on Sony's back to stop making their series.It is those things that are familiar to people and what will give them the boast when they start. I mean tell the truth what would attract you more to a new console.A new game which you are not sure of or something familiar? You keep saying stop this and that when the next gen version could be the best out of them all. But you won't know because you won't give it a chance. One of the things they mentioned that they were going to say is Infamous.If they decided to leave out Infamous then we wouldn't have Infamous for the PS4 to enjoy.Not sure why PlayStation people are so obsessed with ending their series while everyone licks up every sequel they have on the other consoles.

If you don't like making games it is surely a waste of money. I don't like making them either so I am basically paying 50 to play minigames which are limited to the tools of the game. Whereas I could just use the internet to play free and more diverse minigames.

Kratos kills himself, Odin chooses him to fight along his side and promises to give him his family back, then to have thor not like Kratos after what he did to earth.

After Kratos showing Thor that he doesn't give a sh#t, they fight to the point where/when Kratos crushes Thors' skull with his own hammer on/in Valhalla and in doing so Odin declares war on kratos. Kratos bring death to Norse gods, and sends fear through out Norse mythology. Because hes a bonafide bad %$# mutha!!!!

I know it's an opinion thing, and i completely respect yours but i also hate it. Your opinion is now full of my respect but sprinkled with my hate. If your opinion had a face i would punch it.

On topic, In my opinion God of War. I love GoW. I own and have platinumed all 6. But Ascencion felt weird, un-inspired, the only GoW i've ever struggled to finish. Maybe it was the whole "another prequel" thing i dunno.

I think teken needs to retire for a while or at least a serious reboot, it's been around since the ps1 launch. If they did reboot it i would like to see a hyper real game where the characters look real but have over the top effects like 300.

Im dying for a new new Little Big Planet, but not a simple rehash. It needs 3D gameplay, not the current 2D, as well as 3D creation tools like the Media Molecule tech demo they showed and the PS4 event.

I think its a given at this point or they wouldnt have showed those amazing sculpting tools. Imagine what people could come up with. Its like having a chunk of virtual clay that you can bring to life. LBP3D is going to be groundbreaking, just like the first 2 games.
